This family occurs in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> USA through México<br />
to South America but does not occur in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> West<br />

stumps.<br />
30. FAMILY DIPHYLLOSTOMATIDAE<br />
This family is limited to three species <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Diphyllostomus in California. Females are flightless,<br />
<strong>and</strong> larvae probably live in soil.<br />

The bess beetles<br />
Reviewed by J. Schuster, June 1994<br />
These beetles are found in sub-social groups in<br />
rotting logs in forests. The genus Spasalus has more<br />
than 3 lamellae in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir antennae, <strong>and</strong> old records<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se for <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g> need to be c<strong>on</strong>firmed before being<br />
accepted. S. Peck has a manuscript key to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
known <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>n species by J. Schuster. Ivie <strong>and</strong><br />
